Samsung Convoy U640 3G Military Grade Extreme Shock Water & Dust Resistance Verizon EVDO CDMA, A Grade (A-Stock)
Tested and graded A Grade (A-Stock) by TG after coming back through the Verizon channel, this Samsung Convoy U640 3G military grade extreme shock, water and dust resistance flip for Verizon EVDO CDMA is lightly used and fully working with very minor nicks or scratches at most. Clean rugged flips are the pick for collectors, prop houses that want an authentic job-site phone, and display or training programs.
Samsung built the Convoy, model SCH-U640, for Verizon in 2009 as a rugged flip phone that meets military specifications for shock, water, and dust. It carries Verizon Push to Talk over EV-DO Rev. A with presence information, a 2 MP camera and camcorder, a high-output stereo speaker, speakerphone and voice commands, Bluetooth 2.1, GPS for VZ Navigator and Field Force Manager, and a microSD slot up to 16 GB. Talk time was rated up to 5 hours.
Dealers take Convoy carrier returns from TG Wireless for collector and prop demand, for parts and repair stock, and for rugged-device display or training units that never need a live network.

Condition: A Grade
A Grade (A-Stock) units are lightly used, fully tested, and working, and may show very minor nicks or scratches. Units are supplied as graded; ask your account manager about packaging (original box, accessories, or handset only) when you request a quote.
Network and compatibility
The Convoy U640 is a Verizon CDMA phone with EV-DO data and no LTE. Verizon retired its CDMA network on December 31, 2022, and Page Plus rode on that network, so this handset gets no US carrier service today and cannot be activated anywhere in the US. See the network status line in the table for the branding of each listing. Remaining uses are collectors, film and TV props, parts and display units, and offline or Wi-Fi use where the model supports it.
Resale fit
- Collectors and prop houses that want a military-spec Verizon flip phone.
- Parts and repair buyers who need SCH-U640 housings, keypads, and batteries.
- Training and display units for rugged-device demonstrations.
